Into the pit guide to marking (including hand-painted materials suitable for Xiaobai)

Hello, everyone, I'm Ye Xiaohui, a wild hand-painted expert.

1 1 June, I recommended the features of various hand-painted tools and entry-level equipment to my friends, which is absolutely intimate and worthwhile! Why do you say that? Because everyone who knows me knows that I have never been an "equipment party", but an "action party" in hand painting. Even the most common and commonly used watercolor pens, I only buy a certain brand of entry-level 6 colors or 12 colors. Of course, I bought a lot of cheap miscellaneous brands, so I know the difference.

If you are not sure whether you want to learn hand-painting as a major or a profession, then my introductory recommendation is a kind of "low-cost trial and error", but it is also possible that you will fall into the hole of hand-painting when drawing!

Today we will talk about the existence of "marker", which makes people love and hate. My first few markers were bought from the university flea market. This is not an ordinary university, but a university where more than 50% of majors need markers! Haha, it's not an art university, but an architecture university. This will talk about the most commonly used theme signs: architecture, gardens, interior design ↓

Secondly, markers are often used to design cartoon characters, so markers are also necessary hand-drawn tools for animation students:

Does it feel super cool and stylish? Yes, markers are not only colorful, rich and textured, but also show many details and stains.

According to the different ink materials, markers are mainly divided into three categories: water-based markers, oily markers and alcohol markers.

As the name implies, water-based marker ink can be dissolved in water. After coloring, before the ink is dry, dip a pen in water to smear it, which can produce a similar light-colored effect.

The ink of oily marker is insoluble in water. The ink is similar to oil painting solvent and has the characteristics of quick drying, water resistance and light resistance. Generally, it is a wide foaming pen with softer strokes. Rich in color, but few in variety, it is often used to draw POP posters ↓

Alcohol marker and oily marker are easily confused, but they are insoluble in water. The difference is that it uses alcohol instead of blended oil in ink, so it has the taste of alcohol, which volatilizes very quickly and has strong penetration.

Because of its strong penetrating power, special paper is needed for coloring with marker pen, and it can also be used on special materials such as smooth porcelain surface, office whiteboard and magnetic drawing board. In fact, the original function of marker is to "mark". English markers and online languages often say "horse live", which actually means "marking live", marking the meaning of key points.

Color superposition is a common technique used by marker in painting, which can make the picture have rich changes, generally divided into monochrome superposition, multiple superposition and multi-color single superposition.

Mixed color is the most commonly used and difficult technique in marker painting, which is similar to "overlapping color+gradient" in lead painting. Because of the characteristics of markers, it is relatively difficult for beginners to draw natural mixed colors.

Speaking of this, you may think that the marker is too professional, and it is a tool that the animated hand-painted gods will use. In fact, many handwritten bloggers and ins bloggers also like to draw some lovely things with Mark, which is very suitable for copying practice. To share a big wave of marker material:

Little fairies who like clothing matching can refer to this set of materials:

There is a certain hand-painted foundation that can challenge this group of materials:

Isn't it cute? In fact, I have learned all these materials, not all the techniques, but the way of painting eyes, hands and feet, clothing, hair and so on. , used in the daily hand-drawn creation process.

Finally, I recommend my marker brand: TOUCH.

Originally a Korean brand, it was made in China because of its high cost performance, which attracted more buyers and recommended it to friends who just came to into the pit. Tips: If you have children at home, you must choose "water soluble" (difficult to master) or "oily" (recommended).

Although alcohol marker has many advantages in painting and presentation, its pungent volatile smell of alcohol (I feel) is very harmful to children's health. Even if it is necessary for professional painting, you should pay attention to putting it away (hiding it) after buying it, and don't let the children get too close when painting.

I wish my friends a happy painting.
